I was always dreaming of his arrival,
Only to be shocked to find out he was coming.
He came out of the blue,
But I like to think he was right on time.
With so many rushing thoughts swirling in my head.
I didn’t know what to think at first.
Joy
was Fear
Fear
was also excitement.
The months upon his arrival dragged
But they couldn’t have been shorter.
I don’t remember those months at all,
But I could tell you all about them.
When he finally came I was in disbelief
Yet everything felt so right.
He came so abruptly
And fit right in.
He was this little creature that I was holding
That I call my little bro.
I still feel that same shock I did when I first saw him when I look at him today,
But it wouldn’t feel right without him here.
We’re ten years apart
But he’s my twin
He makes me go crazy
But he’s always there to settle me down.
He’s pretty wild
But sometimes is the calm I need.
He’s still so young
But teaches me in so many ways.
You can’t read right now for the way you can yell
It’s okay though,
You might be kinda old if you ever see this,
But you’ll always be the same little rascal that you are.
I hope you never lose those puppy eyes you make when you want some of my ice cream
Don’t expect them to always get what you want.
Maybe you’ll read this one day
Or not.
But no matter what,
I love you, little bro.
